Jenkins pipelines and continuous integration

This is Jenkins. He’s polite.Over the last few weeks, I have been focused on improving automated deployment for java web applications using Jenkins. In particular, much of the focus has been on doing so by using the pipeline plugin.

This is a pretty great tool because it allows for automated deployment in a scripted fashion. If there’s one thing that has frustrated me, however, it is the documentation for how to use the various “steps” the pipeline script allows you to write into a deployment script. To understand, check this page of steps documentation.
